This cabin is definitely a woodsy experience! Be prepared that there is no AC so it can be hot at night and it is very much in the middle of the woods with no neighbors so be prepared for that. The driveway is a bit treacherous too, but overall we had a great experience! The views are incredible, the animal life is everywhere, and it’s big enough to fit large groups! The communication and cleanliness was also great.

This was my family's sixth stay and we'll be back next year again. I can never say enough great things about this place and it just seems to get better and better with convenient additions each time. It's always very comfortable and sitting outside at the fire table cannot be beat. SO much room...too much for us, but we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Colorado. The host and property manager communicate perfectly and are always willing to answer questions and help when needed. This is definitely a 5-star stay if you love to relax in the mountains after either a day of fishing, or just sitting with a drink and chatting. See you in 2027!

Great house for a winter family getaway in southern Colorado! Lots of bedrooms and kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd need to cook for a large group. Wifi could be a little faster but added to thge charm and secluded vibe. And 40 minute drive from Telluride is a must!

Gorgeous area tucked in the mountains, but not far off the main road. Close to Dolores, Cortez and Mesa Verde. Lots of room for a large family gathering. A trip to remember for sure.

Another amazing stay

We had our wedding here a year ago and just came back to celebrate our first anniversary with family and friends. Could not recommend this cabin and property manager “more highly”. We love staying here and hope to make it an annual trip for our family.
